Virtual reality goggles on a table in a tourist office.

The Cambrils Tourism Board office has integrated a virtual reality experience into the Sota les onades del Cavet exhibition, allowing visitors to discover local underwater biodiversity.

The initiative, promoted by the Cave Cavet association, aims to bring the richness of the coastline closer to residents and tourists. Using technological goggles, users can view 360-degree footage recorded in the depths of the marine reserve, complementing the collection of photographs and artworks on display.
The activity is open to the public on Wednesdays and Saturdays, from 6:15 PM to 7:15 PM. This proposal seeks to highlight sustainability and the protection of the marine environment, emphasizing the importance of the Posidonia seagrass meadows present in the area.
The project involves collaboration from various professionals, including oceanographers and local artists. Furthermore, the displayed images include QR codes that provide access to technical sheets prepared by students from the Escola d'Hoteleria de Cambrils and the Institut d'Horticultura de Reus.
